Photo of Clerid from New Hampshire
This is Thanasimus dubius Fabricius, closely related to Enoclerus, but distinct.

Hi Bob,
You left no indication on your profile page, reachable by clicking on your name, to suggest that you can opine authoritatively on this beetle, nor did I find a Bob Gemmill in a google search who has umpteen mentions concerning clerids, beetles, or any kind of insect.

Not to worry though, I did google up a bunch of images of Thanasimus dubius and must agree that you are precisely correct in your ID. Thank you very much!
